	What version of ORBit2 do you have; also, it may be interesting to get
a stack trace from gnome-session, find it's pid and do:
	
	gdb gnome-session <pid>
	backtrace

	If that fails, login as failsafe x term thing; do a bonobo-slay, then
run: strace -f -ttt gnome-session >& /tmp/log.

	Then post a _link_ to the log :-)

	Hopefully we can find what's going on from that,

	Regards,

		Michael.
